Question 1

What is a one-way fee?

Accepted Answer

A one-way fee is applied when you return your rental car to a different location than where you originally picked it up. This fee helps cover the cost of relocating the vehicle back to its starting point. The amount of the one-way fee varies depending on the locations involved and the rental company's policies. Be sure to check the fee details when booking your rental to understand any additional charges that may apply.

Question 2

Can I use a debit card to rent a car in Paris?

Accepted Answer

Using a debit card to rent a car in Paris is sometimes possible, but policies vary by rental company. Many suppliers require a credit card, such as Visa, MasterCard, or American Express, for the deposit and reservation. If you only have a debit card, check with the rental provider beforehand or use our website, VoyageCopilot.com, to find car rental options that accept debit cards.

Question 3

Do I need to return the car with a full tank of gas?

Accepted Answer

Whether you need to return the car with a full tank of gas depends on the fuel policy you select. With a full-to-full or same-to-same policy, you must return the vehicle with the same level of fuel it had when you picked it up. If you don’t, you’ll incur a charge for the missing fuel, usually at a rate higher than local gas stations. Alternatively, you can choose to prepay for a full tank, which means you won't need to refuel the car before returning it. However, this option typically results in a higher overall cost, as you’ll be charged the local gas price minus a discount per gallon.

Question 4

What is the cheapest car to rent in Paris?

Accepted Answer

The most affordable car to rent in Paris is a Box VAN (Renault Kangoo), with the latest price we found at AED 104 per day.

Question 5

How can I get to and from the Airport to the city center of Paris?

Accepted Answer

Hiring a car at the airport is a convenient option that allows you to drive directly to the city centre of Paris and explore at your own pace. Alternatively, you can use airport shuttle services, public transport like buses or trains, or take a taxi or rideshare service for a direct connection.

Question 6

Can I rent a car in Paris for a month?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can rent a car for a month in Paris. Many car rental companies offer long-term car rental options. It’s often more cost-effective to book a monthly car rental rather than several weekly rentals. For the best rates and availability, start a search on VoyageCopilot.com to compare offers and find the most suitable long-term car rental deals.

Question 7

What is the deposit amount for a car rental in Paris?

Accepted Answer

The deposit amount required for a car rental in Paris varies depending on the type of vehicle you choose and the rental company's policies. This deposit is generally held on your credit card to cover any potential additional charges or damages. To ensure you are aware of the exact deposit amount and any other associated costs, check the details during the booking process. This information is usually provided on the booking site. Additionally, be aware that the deposit will be refunded to your card after the car is returned, provided there are no extra charges or damages.

Question 8

Can another person drive my rental vehicle?

Accepted Answer

Yes, another person can drive your rent vehicle, but they must be authorised by the rental company. Typically, you need to add them as an additional driver when booking or picking up the car. There may be an extra fee for adding additional drivers, and they must meet the same age and driving licence requirements as the primary driver. Check with the car rental company for specific terms and conditions.

Question 9

Can I rent car seats in Paris for my young children?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Most major car rental companies in Paris, like AVIS, Sicily By Car, Secret Deal,  and , offer baby and child seats as an add-on when you book.

Question 10

What is the process for returning a car in Paris?

Accepted Answer

To return a car in Paris station, ensure that the vehicle is in the same condition as when you rented it and that the fuel tank is full. Follow the signs to the designated return area at the car rental location. If you need to return the vehicle outside of regular business hours, look for any instructions or an after-hours drop-off box at the return area. It’s a good idea to confirm with the car rental company beforehand about their off-hour procedures to ensure a smooth return process. Be sure to complete any required paperwork or check-in steps as instructed.

Question 11

Can under 25s rent cars in Paris, Paris

Accepted Answer

The minimum age to rent a car in Paris station is typically 21 years old, although this can vary by region and car rental company. In countries like the United States and Canada, drivers younger than 25 may incur a young driver surcharge. In Europe, you can usually rent a car if you’re 18 years old, though additional fees might apply for drivers under 25. In Australia, the minimum age is also generally 21 years old, with extra charges possible for drivers younger than this age. Always verify the specific age requirements and potential surcharges with the rental company, as these can differ significantly by provider and location.

Question 12

Is renting a car for a week in Paris more cost-effective?

Accepted Answer

Renting a car for a week in Paris can sometimes be more cost-effective than renting for a shorter period, as many car rental companies offer weekly rates that provide better value. To ensure you get the best deal, it’s advisable to compare rates and check for any available discounts or promotions during the booking process. Always review the pricing details carefully before finalizing your reservation.
